Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Su Liang laughed and said, "Alright, hurry up and choose your rewards. This time, the rewards should be distributed according to the order in which they are announced. Take a look for yourselves."

Before long, Tang Yuan and the others exchanged their rewards one after another. Tang Yuan excitedly chose a Reincarnation Divine Crystal, Tang Xiaolu chose a whip, and Luo Tian chose Xuan Sha for body tempering. However, Li Qingmo kept it a secret from Su Liang.

Due to the unknown effects of the spell, Li Qingmo's presence seemed to have been reduced to a minimum. Tang Yuan and the others glanced at him and, although surprised that he was second, assumed he was the low-key genius of a reclusive sect and did not pay much attention.

After a while, amidst the misty air, Wang Tian and Han Bo emerged with dark faces, their robes somewhat disheveled. If they were facing the Black Dragon alone, they could easily pass by using some of their trump cards.

However, when the two were together, they became more hesitant and timid, which made them struggle to pass the level.

Wang Tian didn't even glance at Han Bo next to him. He directly opened the reward screen. Han Bo first gave Su Liang, who was in first place, a gloomy look, and then looked at Li Qingmo, who was in second place. His eyes flashed with cold light.

As Tang Yuan and the others walked right past them, Ranking Hanbo could still guess their identities.

Wang Tianhan and his companion flipped through the reward list, and their faces darkened again as they looked at the sparse rewards. The rewards were distributed according to the ranking, with the first place winner getting to choose three items and having the best selection rights.

The second-place winner can choose two items, the third-place winner can choose one item, and the prizes for fourth-place winners will be changed to other lower-tier prizes. Those who enter earlier can choose first.

Wang Tian and Han Bo were ranked between sixth and seventh, so their reward choices were naturally not very good.

Wang Tian silently and casually picked out an item, while Han Bo stepped forward in front of everyone, staring directly at Su Liang and Li Qingmo, and said in a low, threatening tone:

"I don't know if you've ever seen a reward like the Sirius Half-Emperor Pill. If it's selected, my Black Horned Bull Clan is willing to spend a lot of money to exchange with you. I know that the inner core of this ancient royal family is tasteless to your human race, yet a pity to throw away."

After saying that, Hanbo stared intently at Su Liang and Li Qingmo, his eyes flashing with a cold light. If Su Liang and Li Qingmo didn't speak, Hanbo would probably try to snatch them after they left.

Su Liang's face darkened with anger. If Han Bo was only threatening him, that would be one thing, but if he was threatening his woman, he was courting death!

While silently pondering how to kill the other party within this forbidden area, Su Liang stood in front of Li Qingmo and said, "I've already used up the inner core you mentioned."

Li Qingmo's clear eyes reflected Su Liang's retreating figure, flashing with captivating brilliance.

Han Bo turned his cold gaze to Su Liang and said with a stern face, "Chief Su, don't try to fool me. As a human, you can't use this inner core."

Su Liang took out a handful of inner core ash, which he had specially collected. Pointing to the ash, Su Liang shrugged and said helplessly, "It's really unfortunate that I am the human who can use inner cores."

Hanbo carefully examined the ashes of the inner core in Su Liang's hand, his heart sinking deeper and deeper. Although the Heavenly Wolf Half-Emperor Core had turned to dust, he could still sense a trace of the Heavenly Wolf's aura.

The dust in Su Liang's hand, swirling with a rich Sirius aura, made him believe that Su Liang probably really did have a way to absorb this inner core.

"Very good, Chief Su, you have successfully given up the only chance to reconcile with my ancient royal family."

Hanbo didn't say anything more. Since the matter entrusted to him by the clan was over, he simply expressed his stance and then withdrew.

“Is that so? But I don’t want to reconcile with your ancient royal family,” Su Liang murmured.

The mist swirled once more, and three figures, covered in wounds and withered, emerged from it. They were none other than Xie Hong and his two companions.

The moment he revealed himself and saw Su Liang, Xie Hong's snake eyes turned bloodshot with fear, and he roared in a fierce rage, "Su Liang!"

After letting out a roar, the three of them quickly took out some pills and sat down in a corner to meditate and recover.

Only they themselves knew their own suffering. As the fifth batch of inheritors to come to the edge of the Milky Way, they encountered a black dragon that had been hit four times over and was now on steroids.

The chance to escape is right in front of us. If we can't beat the first four waves, then surely we can't fail the fifth wave!

Don't be fooled by how timid this black dragon appears in front of Su Liang.

As an ancient dragon personally captured by the Great Emperor of Reincarnation, it is comparable to some of the peerless geniuses of the Primordial Royal Family. If it weren't for the fact that it cannot cultivate independently in this forbidden area, it would probably have reached the Supreme Realm and become a king in the outside world after all these years.

Faced with the black dragon in this state, Xie Hong and his companions fought with all their might, barely managing to achieve a draw. Still wondering what had gotten into the black dragon, they heard it murmur:

“If my older brother Su Liang hadn’t been away, you bunch of little brats would have been completely suppressed by him.”

The Black Dragon naturally heard the announcement from the Great Emperor of the Star River and learned that his newly recognized elder brother was named Su Liang. After hearing the Black Dragon's words, Xie Hong and the other two automatically imagined that Su Liang had specifically instructed the Black Dragon to target them, which led to the scene where they appeared.

Su Liang looked at Xie Hong and the other two with some confusion. Right behind them, a misty aura began to circulate, and geniuses from various sects emerged from it. They chattered amongst themselves, staring strangely at Xie Hong and the other two in the corner.

Su Liang had encountered

The saintess, mustering her courage, blushed and approached Su Liang, bowing her head and whispering.

After hearing this, Su Liang's expression was quite interesting. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen. He looked pitifully at the three people in the corner.

Chapter 951 Are you prepared for defeat?

Su Liang solemnly clasped his hands and shouted loudly:

"Many thanks to Xie Hong and the other three ancient royal family members for their bravery in fighting the dragon. They risked serious injuries and fought to the death, making such a contribution to our human race!"

The three men, Xie Hong and Xie Hong, who had been keeping their eyes closed, opened them and stared at Su Liang with burning rage, wishing they could pounce on him and tear him apart. They felt as if they were about to vomit blood.

If you didn't give the order, why did that black dragon fight us to the death?

Han Bo, with his towering figure, blocked Xie Hong and the other two, and said coldly to Su Liang, "Chief Su, isn't that enough? Shouldn't you know more about the Black Dragon matter yourself?"

As a witness who saw Tang Yuan and the other two walk safely past the black dragon, he was more convinced than Xie Hong and the others that this was a deliberate arrangement by Su Liang.

Upon hearing this, the prodigies from various sects sensed there was more to the story. Some of the more astute among them immediately stepped forward and loudly expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, Chief Su, for your righteous act of subduing the Black Dragon!"

Those who were unaware of the situation immediately understood upon hearing this. It turned out that all of this was specially arranged by Chief Su after he subdued the black dragon. Naturally, they exclaimed with heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you for your righteousness, Chief Su!"

Su Liang responded with a question mark.

As the various prodigies emerged from their respective sects, they looked bewildered. Then, they were told by others that Su Liang had subdued the black dragon, and they all suddenly realized what had happened, bowing to Su Liang in gratitude.

Su Liang simply stood there quietly with a smile on his face. He quickly figured out the connection between the events. Although he hadn't specifically given any instructions, things just happened by sheer coincidence.

Aside from the top ten, those who cleared the level afterward received no rewards, but it wasn't without its benefits. Listening to the Emperor's voice and walking alone under the Emperor's pressure strengthened their resolve, making their future promising.

After a while, the misty aura slowly dissipated, and the majestic voice of the Great Emperor rang out once more.

"The arena is now open. All inheritors, please prepare yourselves. Teleportation is beginning!"

In a dizzying moment, Su Liang found himself in a vast, desolate arena filled with dried blood. Looking around, he saw that the arena was a huge circle, surrounded by rows of spectator seats.

"The inheritor has ten challenge opportunities here. As long as they win three of them, they will be automatically declared the winner. Green inheritor, get ready, your first opponent is coming soon." The Emperor's voice coldly explained the rules in the empty arena.

Under Su Liang's gaze, a beam of light shone in the distance, and a handsome man holding a sword and a spear stepped forward.

Yu Tianhua, who came from a certain supreme sect, was full of vigor and ambition. On the Emperor's Road, he underwent all kinds of trials and his cultivation improved even more.

Even among those participating in the assessment, he was confident he would rank in the top fifteen. Even if he didn't receive the final inheritance, he was certain he would gain a great deal from this forbidden area trip. He brandished his spear with imposing momentum and shouted, "Come on!"

Then, Yu Tianhua watched as the handsome man slowly walked out of the shadows, dressed in his usual elegant white robes, his gentle demeanor tinged with an air of domineering power. Yu Tianhua's face fell.

"Chief Su, hello, I was just joking, don't take it to heart."

Su Liang looked at Yu Tianhua and recognized him. "Oh, it's you. I didn't expect you to pass the test in the end."

Yu Tianhua said excitedly, "Yes, Chief Su, with your help I escaped from the deadly situation and soon broke through in cultivation. Chief Su, your kindness to me is as deep as the sea. I will surrender on my own later to preserve a portion of your strength for future inheritance."

Su Liang said nonchalantly, "This is your own hard work, why thank me?"

Yu Tianhua said solemnly, "If it weren't for your intervention in suppressing the ancient royal family and Wang Tian's group, I might not even have been qualified to enter the forbidden area. You don't need to be modest. Now, please allow me to take my leave. I wish you all the best in the future."

After saying this, Yu Tianhua clasped his hands in surrender and faced the sky above the arena, disappearing into a white light under Su Liang's gaze.

"Congratulations to Su Liang, the successor, on your victory. Your next opponent is coming soon."

After the Emperor's voice faded, a white light flashed in the distance, revealing the figure inside. Both Su Liang and the other party were taken aback.

Su Liang looked at the familiar blue brocade robe on the other person's body, and the ice-blue demonic eyes that only existed in mythology, with a strange expression.

Wang Tian was taken aback when he saw Su Liang, who was dressed in an unparalleled white robe and exuded an aura that was no less than that of these self-proclaimed ancient oddballs from the moment he appeared. He then laughed and said, "I don't know if it's the strange taste of this Reincarnation Ancient Emperor, but I didn't expect to meet him in the second round. I thought we would decide the winner at the last moment."

Su Liang agreed wholeheartedly: "I also suspect it's the ancient emperor of reincarnation's twisted sense of humor."

Wang Tianru's previously calm demeanor shifted, and he said arrogantly:

"I know you are not simple, Su Liang. Your performance on the Milky Way has greatly exceeded all expectations. But you must know that you can't succeed in this world forever with just cleverness. You are no match for me, so admit defeat. If you are willing to be my servant for eternity, I will give you a chance to join my royal family."

In Wang Tian's eyes, the sheer volume of spiritual energy surrounding Su Liang was so immense that it even startled him.

But Wang Tian was not afraid. Under those demonic eyes, compared to the vast sea of ​​spiritual energy, the chilling aura contained within was also...

Absolutely astonishing.

In his view, Su Liang posed even less of a threat than Han Bo; he was just a brute who used spiritual energy to overpower others.

Looking at Wang Tian, ​​Su Liang smiled and shook his head, saying sarcastically:

"Do you know that you so-called ancient freaks are nothing but clowns?"

Although you are not much older than the younger generation of this era in terms of physical age, in my opinion, you bunch of weirdos who are afraid of heaven and earth and only want to use the world to step onto God's path are really ridiculous.

The path to becoming an emperor is inherently a struggle against heaven and earth. Those who merely flee, looking upon the great emperors of this world, know that each one has been forged through countless trials. Those of you who seek to exploit this so-called great era are unworthy to be emperors!

Su Liang's words resonated like a great bell in Wang Tian's ears.

Su Liang, dressed in a white robe with his lapels fluttering, stood proudly here, tearing away Wang Tian's pride and the mask of the hidden forces, laying bare the bloody reality before both sides.

The so-called hidden forces and ancient freaks are worthless in Su Liang's eyes. Aren't you just brutes who hide and bully the younger generation?

Wang Tian's face darkened, and he said in a gloomy tone:

"Very well, Su Liang, you have successfully angered me. Although I cannot kill you in this arena, you'd better prepare to face the next match lying down!"

Su Liang laughed disdainfully:

"I've heard these words from you hundreds of times. They're like the barking of a defeated dog. On the contrary, are you prepared to lose?"

Chapter 952 Severely Injuring Wang Tian, ​​Unbelievable

A chilling aura rose in Wang Tian's eyes, and a sharp, icy glint appeared in his pupils. He clenched his fist and calmly murmured:

"Break."

"boom!"

Su Liang felt the sea of ​​spiritual energy within his body surging and rolling, and streaks of white frost began to spread within it.

If an ordinary person were to encounter Wang Tian's move of freezing spiritual energy, they would probably be caught off guard and seriously injured on the spot.

Thanks to the powerful physique of the Divine Emperor's body, the surge of spiritual energy in Su Liang's sea of ​​energy did not have much of an impact on him.

Su Liang looked at Wang Tian, ​​whose expression was calm, and quickly grasped the general idea of ​​Wang Tian's eye abilities.

"Can it see through the cold aura on a person's body? It can even freeze intangible spiritual energy. That's pretty shameless."

Essentially, Su Liang was right. Wang Tian's demonic eyes were indeed quite shameless. Before he even unleashed his full power, the opponent could detonate the spiritual energy within you.

Just as Su Liang was about to use his divine emperor body to overwhelm Wang Tian, ​​no matter how many wonderful methods he used, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him. He remembered a divine ability that he had just learned by stealing and then stared at Wang Tian with ill intent.

Su Liang calmed himself down, circulated the spiritual energy surging within his body, and his entire being became ethereal and otherworldly. He murmured, "One thought connects to the heavens!"

Wang Tian withdrew his hand in boredom. In his opinion, Su Liang on the other side had probably lost his ability to fight. He had never failed to use this move to freeze the cold energy in the opponent's body since he was born.

Wang Tian, ​​who was preparing to turn back and wait for the next round to begin, suddenly felt a familiar rhythm. He looked up and saw a shocking scene: the familiar connection between his body and the world, the familiar sense of repulsion from the world. In a flash, Wang Tian felt as if he had returned to the scene when he was fighting against that young emperor puppet.
